API to open chat/command prompt

Not all guidies get on the same vent channel so i end up talking in guildsay sometimes. Its a little frustrating to talk with kepmaps enabled. but its a pain to M-shift/alt + hit enter. type what i need. and then press M-shift/alt again. Im trying to bind the toggle keymaps to enter and toggle open/close chat at the same time. I cant get both to act at the same time.

been searching The WoW API list looking for a command to open, close, or toggle open chat through a macro command.
what im trying to do

My intent was to change the method of chating from pressing

1) shift alt m and
2) enter

to

Enter
a) press: disable keymaps
b) release: toggle open chat/send messgage

as a temp fix i'm gona move disable keymaps to shift \ which is less of a stretch and closer to enter.

This is why I don't use any letters as ISboxer keybinds. I also don't use any of the numpad keys (although many of my keybinds call the numpad keys, the numpad keys don't call anything through isboxer).

It should be trivial to add a mapped key in ISBoxer e.g. SHIFT+ENTER which would do the following:

Step 1:
* Turn off normal DPS/heal/etc. keymaps
* Send ENTER to the WoW client to open the chat window.

Step 2:
* Send another ENTER to send the chat message
* Re-enable DPS/heal/etc. keymaps

Could try...

Two steps, execute on press or release.
Hotkey is ENTER or Shift + ENTER.

Step 1
Copy every step that occurs on Step 1 of Activate Maps (in Control Keymap)
Keystroke Action > Enter > Warcraft (Current Window)

Step 2
Copy every step that occurs on Step 2 of Activate Maps (in Control Keymap)
Keystroke Action > Enter > Warcraft (Target: Current Window)

Probably don't want it on press or release, just one of the two. Otherwise, it'll enable while holding down enter and disable as soon as you let go of it. ;)

Good call.
